Friday, December 28, 2007 A few people have asked me about the string I used to tie up my Christmas packages. It is a large spool of baker's twine I bought online... quite inexpensively. This spool should last me the rest of my life. I don't remember the exact place but a google search will turn up several alternatives. It was the Little Italy pastry shops that I frequented during our visit to Boston that inspired me to use baker's twine. Labels: christmas, craft posted on 12/28/2007 :: link ............................................................................................ 5 Comments: I used baker's twine on all our gifts this year, too. Coincidentally, I used the same tags, although without the deer punch. I also got my twine online a little over a year ago -- I can't remember where, but it wasn't expensive and I think the spool will last FOREVER. By  Susie, at 28/12/07 7:59 PM I have a spool that I bought at Broadway Panhandler in New York City - I've had it since 2003 and barely made a dent in it even though I've used it a lot! By  Beth, at 28/12/07 11:06 PM Actually, after looking at your photos on Flickr, I can see that the tags I used only look like yours. I wasn't quite so crafty to make my own -- I just cut the plain white string off of the ones I already had... Nice work! By  Susie, at 29/12/07 1:27 PM I wonder if you could knit with it?
